I have a feeling he will do a good job, the obvious thing is he can work the horse the way he wants hands on, and really it wouldn't be that unusual for a Jockey to make the switch to Trainer successfully, Ie. freddie Head.

Are there any other long-time jockeys that have had much success as trainers?

Only one I can think of is Cash Asmussen and he doesn't really fall into that category.

Not many of the high profile variety I would guess. I read somewhere Bob Baffert was a rider at one point though it was the 1/4 horse variety. Up until now I can only think of Freddy Head as one of the more prominant one's. I'm sure there are some less famous riders, I'll have to dig a little further...

This move can't be as bad as Wolfson to Tagg.

At least Stevens will have all of the miracles of modern medicine at his disposal!

Wayne Catalano rode and has been successful as a trainer.

Ranked as North America’s second-leading rider by wins in 1977.

The Jacksons sold Frolic's Dream last week at Keeneland for $320,000. I bet they paid a whole lot more for her.

No doubt!

Hopefully her previous connections bought her back. They can win the BC filly/mare sprint with her next year.

Wesley Ward was a jockey. I think a few started out as Jump riders Shepherd and Schulhoffer to name 2. Cordero won a stake with Holy Mountian.

I recall after the BC Freddie Head talking about riding and training a great horse.

Steve Asmussen rode races too. Freddie Head in France rode Miesque to 2 BC Mile wins and trained Goldikova to the same.
